Short Term Rental Update In Both
Lambton Shores & Bluewater Municipalities
Regarding Lambton Shores short term rentals they have closed the survey submissions and have moved on to the next stage of deciding what to do regarding short term rentals. The consultation process is now in the stakeholder meeting phase, which involves public meetings with a variety of stakeholders in the tourism and short-term rental industry. As a short-term rental host/operator, you are invited to attend one of three virtual stakeholder discussions: - Wednesday, November 10, 2021 (7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.)
- Friday, November 12, 2021 (1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.)
- Monday, November 15, 2021 (7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.)
Please note that these stakeholder meetings are only reserved for short-term rental owners/operators in Lambton Shores. The purpose of the stakeholder meeting is to discuss the common concerns in our communities and facilitate meaningful conversations around solutions that balance the needs of short-term rental hosts/operators with those of residents looking for safe and appropriately managed short-term rental accommodations.

Regarding Bluewater short term rentals the council has adopted a strict enforcement policy for short-term rentals in the Municipality. Municipal staff have begun an education and enforcement campaign to help residents and visitors to Bluewater understand what is and isn't allowed. The program and applicable by-laws are explained in a new short-term rental information brochure which is available through the website. Municipal Law Enforcement Officers enforce municipal by-laws. When a complaint is received, it is investigated to determine if there has been a bylaw violation. The appropriate action will then be taken to resolve the matter. At any time, an officer may enter onto land for the purpose of carrying out an inspection to determine whether or not by-laws are being obeyed. This meaning you will want to thoroughly vet all your renters to make sure it is not a big party waiting to happen.

Forest Cenotaph - 10:45 - 11:30
Thedford Cenotaph - 11am
Grand Bend Legion - 10:45am
In Flanders Fields - John McCrae In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
